Using Comsol in OnDemand
Using Comsol in Batch Mode
More information on managing batch jobs and job scripts in LSF can be found at LSF Scheduler
Your lab might have a specific Comsol license to use, in which case you may need to use a different "module add" command before running Comsol.
A basic batch script for Comsol, that runs on the cpu-compute-long queue, asking for 32 CPU cores and 64GB of RAM:
#BSUB -N
#BSUB -R '(!gpu)'
#BSUB -n 32
#BSUB -R "rusage[mem=64]"
#BSUB -o Output_%J.out #BSUB -e Error_%J.err
#BSUB -J comsolJob
#BSUB -R "span[hosts=1]"
#BSUB -q cpu-compute-long
module add comsol
mkdir /scratch/long/$USER.$LSB_JOBID
comsol batch -np 32 -inputfile wrench.mph -outputfile wrench_out.mph -tmpdir /scratch/long/$USER.$LSB_JOBID -recoverydir /scratch/long/$USER.$LSB_JOBID
The job script above runs Comsol in batch mode, across 32 CPU cores on a single machine. It uses 'wrench.mph' as it's input file, 'wrench_out.mph' as it's output, and puts temporary files under a directory /scratch/long specific to that job's ID number.
It expects to see the input files and will write the output files in whatever directory you submit the job from.
